I searched a bit for a decent system to build a static site and I really wanted to do it using Go. I hadn’t come across anything except a number of Python and Ruby static site generators (Jekyll and Hyde) that seemed to do the trick but didn’t really interest me. Then I found Hugo.

So I found Hugo. Great. Now what. I’m not a UI guy, or a front-end guy, etc. That being the case, clearly I needed a hand and thankfully, SenjinDashiva came through with hugo-uno.

Setup is super simple and with the help of a little deploy script below, creating new files ( hugo new path/to/resource/file.md ) and updating the site in general becoems less than significant.
